PainRelief.com: What is the background for this study?

Response: Headache is a common side effect for a lot of drugs, but there have been a few studies recently in the U.K., Taiwan, and the U.S. suggesting that proton pump inhibitors (the most common acid suppressing drugs) might be associated more specifically with migraine. We used a different data source from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to further explore this topic, and to ask about other classes of acid suppressing drugs
